Stacky version of Zariskis Main Theorem References Introduction A toric variety is a normal, separated variety X with an open embedding T , X of a torus such that the action of the torus on itself extends to an action on X. To a toric! variety one can associate a fan, a collection of cones in the lattice of one-parameter subgroups of T. Toric varieties are very important in algebraic geometry, since algebro-geometric prop- erties of a toric variety translate in combinatorial properties of the fan, allowing to test con- jectures and produce interesting examples. In [10] Borisov, Chen and Smith define toric Deligne-Mumford stacks as explicit global quotient (smooth) stacks, associated to combinatorial data called stacky fans. Later, Iwanari proposed in [22] a definition of toric triple as an orbifold with a torus action having a dense orbit isomorphic to the torus1) and he proved that the 2-category of toric triples is equivalent to the 2-category of ‘‘toric stacks (We refer to [22] for the definition of ‘‘toric stacks). Nevertheless, it is clear that not all toric Deligne-Mumford stacks are toric triples, since some of them are not orbifolds. Then the generalization of the D-collections defined for toric varieties by Cox in [14] was done by Iwanari in [23] in the orbifold case and by Perroni in [31] in the general case. In this paper, we define a Deligne-Mumford torus T as a Picard stack isomorphic to T BG, where T is a torus, and G is a finite abelian group; we then define a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack as a smooth separated Deligne-Mumford stack with the action of a Deligne-Mumford torus T having an open dense orbit isomorphic to T. We prove a classification theorem for smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and show that they coin- cide with those defined by [10]. The first main result of this paper is a bottom-up description of smooth toric Deligne- Mumford stacks, as follows: the structure morphism X X to the coarse moduli space factors canonically via the toric morphisms ! X Xrig Xcan X ! ! ! where X Xrig is an abelian gerbe over Xrig; Xrig Xcan is a fibered product of roots of toric divisors;! and Xcan X is the minimal orbifold! having X as coarse moduli space. Here X is a simplicial toric! variety, and Xrig and Xcan are smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. More precisely, this bottom up construction can be stated as follows. Theorem I. Let X be a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with Deligne-Mumford torus isomorphic to T BG. Denote by X the coarse moduli space of X. Denote by n the number of rays of the fan of X. 1) For the meaning of orbifold in this paper, see §1.2.

Proposition 7.28). Moreover, we classify all complete toric orbifolds of dimension 1 (cf. Example 7.31). We also show that the natural map from the Brauer group of a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with trivial generic stabilizer to its open dense torus is injective (cf. Theorem 6.11). The second main result of this article is to give an explicit relation between the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and the stacky fans. Theorem II. Let X be a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack with coarse moduli space the toric variety denoted by X. Let S be a fan of X in NQ : N nZ Q. Assume that ¼ the rays of S generate NQ. There exists a stacky fan such that X is isomorphic, as toric Deligne-Mumford stack, to the smooth Deligne-Mumford stack associated to the stacky fan. Moreover, if X has a trivial generic stabilizer then the stacky fan is unique. When the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack X has a generic stabilizer the non- uniqueness of the stacky fan comes from three di¤erent choices. We refer to Remark 7.26 for a more precise statement. This result gives a geometrical interpretation of the combina- torial data of the stacky fan. In fact, the stacky fan can be read o¤ the geometry of the smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack just like the fan can be read o¤ the geometry of the toric variety. Notice that one can deduce the above theorem when X is an orbifold from [31], Theorem 2.5, and [23], Theorem 1.4, and the geometric characterization of [24], Theorem 1.3. In the first part of this article, we fix the conventions and collect some results on smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks, root constructions, rigidification, toric varieties, Picard stacks and the action of a Picard stack. In Section 2, we define Deligne-Mumford tori. Sec- tion 3 contains the definition of smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. In Section 4, we first define canonical smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks and then we show that the canonical stack associated to a simplicial toric variety is a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack (cf.

  • The Nori Fundamental Gerbe of Tame Stacks 3
    THE NORI FUNDAMENTAL GERBE OF TAME STACKS INDRANIL BISWAS AND NIELS BORNE Abstract. Given an algebraic stack, we compare its Nori fundamental group with that of its coarse moduli space. We also study conditions under which the stack can be uniformized by an algebraic space. 1. Introduction The aim here is to show that the results of [Noo04] concerning the ´etale fundamental group of algebraic stacks also hold for the Nori fundamental group. Let us start by recalling Noohi’s approach. Given a connected algebraic stack X, and a geometric point x : Spec Ω −→ X, Noohi generalizes the definition of Grothendieck’s ´etale fundamental group to get a profinite group π1(X, x) which classifies finite ´etale representable morphisms (coverings) to X. He then highlights a new feature specific to the stacky situation: for each geometric point x, there is a morphism ωx : Aut x −→ π1(X, x). Noohi first studies the situation where X admits a moduli space Y , and proceeds to show that if N is the closed normal subgroup of π1(X, x) generated by the images of ωx, for x varying in all geometric points, then π1(X, x) ≃ π1(Y,y) . N Noohi turns next to the issue of uniformizing algebraic stacks: he defines a Noetherian algebraic stack X as uniformizable if it admits a covering, in the above sense, that is an algebraic space. His main result is that this happens precisely when X is a Deligne– Mumford stack and for any geometric point x, the morphism ωx is injective. For our purpose, it turns out to be more convenient to use the Nori fundamental gerbe arXiv:1502.07023v3 [math.AG] 9 Sep 2015 defined in [BV12].

  • CHARACTERIZING ALGEBRAIC STACKS 1. Introduction Stacks
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 136, Number 4, April 2008, Pages 1465–1476 S 0002-9939(07)08832-6 Article electronically published on December 6, 2007 CHARACTERIZING ALGEBRAIC STACKS SHARON HOLLANDER (Communicated by Paul Goerss) Abstract. We extend the notion of algebraic stack to an arbitrary subcanon- ical site C. If the topology on C is local on the target and satisfies descent for morphisms, we show that algebraic stacks are precisely those which are weakly equivalent to representable presheaves of groupoids whose domain map is a cover. This leads naturally to a definition of algebraic n-stacks. We also compare different sites naturally associated to a stack. 1. Introduction Stacks arise naturally in the study of moduli problems in geometry. They were in- troduced by Giraud [Gi] and Grothendieck and were used by Deligne and Mumford [DM] to study the moduli spaces of curves. They have recently become important also in differential geometry [Bry] and homotopy theory [G]. Higher-order general- izations of stacks are also receiving much attention from algebraic geometers and homotopy theorists. In this paper, we continue the study of stacks from the point of view of homotopy theory started in [H, H2]. The aim of these papers is to show that many properties of stacks and classical constructions with stacks are homotopy theoretic in nature. This homotopy-theoretical understanding gives rise to a simpler and more powerful general theory. In [H] we introduced model category structures on different am- bient categories in which stacks are the fibrant objects and showed that they are all Quillen equivalent.

  • The Orbifold Chow Ring of Toric Deligne-Mumford Stacks
    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 18, Number 1, Pages 193–215 S 0894-0347(04)00471-0 Article electronically published on November 3, 2004 THE ORBIFOLD CHOW RING OF TORIC DELIGNE-MUMFORD STACKS LEVA.BORISOV,LINDACHEN,ANDGREGORYG.SMITH 1. Introduction The orbifold Chow ring of a Deligne-Mumford stack, defined by Abramovich, Graber and Vistoli [2], is the algebraic version of the orbifold cohomology ring in- troduced by W. Chen and Ruan [7], [8]. By design, this ring incorporates numerical invariants, such as the orbifold Euler characteristic and the orbifold Hodge num- bers, of the underlying variety. The product structure is induced by the degree zero part of the quantum product; in particular, it involves Gromov-Witten invariants. Inspired by string theory and results in Batyrev [3] and Yasuda [28], one expects that, in nice situations, the orbifold Chow ring coincides with the Chow ring of a resolution of singularities. Fantechi and G¨ottsche [14] and Uribe [25] verify this conjecture when the orbifold is Symn(S)whereS is a smooth projective surface n with KS = 0 and the resolution is Hilb (S). The initial motivation for this project was to compare the orbifold Chow ring of a simplicial toric variety with the Chow ring of a crepant resolution. To achieve this goal, we first develop the theory of toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. Modeled on simplicial toric varieties, a toric Deligne-Mumford stack corresponds to a combinatorial object called a stacky fan. As a first approximation, this object is a simplicial fan with a distinguished lattice point on each ray in the fan.

    Equivariant geometry and the cohomology of the moduli space of curves Dan Edidin Abstract. In this chapter we give a categorical definition of the integral cohomology ring of a stack. For quotient stacks [X=G] the categorical co- ∗ homology ring may be identified with the equivariant cohomology HG(X). Identifying the stack cohomology ring with equivariant cohomology allows us to prove that the cohomology ring of a quotient Deligne-Mumford stack is rationally isomorphic to the cohomology ring of its coarse moduli space. The theory is presented with a focus on the stacks Mg and Mg of smooth and stable curves respectively.

  • Algebraic Stacks Many of the Geometric Properties That Are Defined for Schemes (Smoothness, Irreducibility, Separatedness, Properness, Etc...)
    Algebraic stacks Tom´as L. G´omez Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Homi Bhabha road, Mumbai 400 005 (India) [email protected] 9 November 1999 Abstract This is an expository article on the theory of algebraic stacks. After intro- ducing the general theory, we concentrate in the example of the moduli stack of vector budles, giving a detailed comparison with the moduli scheme obtained via geometric invariant theory. 1 Introduction The concept of algebraic stack is a generalization of the concept of scheme, in the same sense that the concept of scheme is a generalization of the concept of projective variety. In many moduli problems, the functor that we want to study is not representable by a scheme. In other words, there is no fine moduli space. Usually this is because the objects that we want to parametrize have automorphisms. But if we enlarge the category of schemes (following ideas that go back to Grothendieck and Giraud, and were developed by Deligne, Mumford and Artin) and consider algebraic stacks, then we can construct the “moduli stack”, that captures all the information that we would like in a fine moduli space. The idea of enlarging the category of algebraic varieties to study moduli problems is not new. In fact A. Weil invented the concept of abstract variety to give an algebraic arXiv:math/9911199v1 [math.AG] 25 Nov 1999 construction of the Jacobian of a curve. These notes are an introduction to the theory of algebraic stacks. I have tried to emphasize ideas and concepts through examples instead of detailed proofs (I give references where these can be found).

  • The Algebraic Stack Mg
    The algebraic stack Mg Raymond van Bommel 9 October 2015 The author would like to thank Bas Edixhoven, Jinbi Jin, David Holmes and Giulio Orecchia for their valuable contributions. 1 Fibre products and representability Recall from last week ([G]) the definition of categories fibred in groupoids over a category S. Besides objects there are 1-morphisms (functors) between objects and 2-morphisms (natural transformations (that are isomorphisms automatically)) between the 1-morphisms. They form a so-called 2-category, CFG. We also defined the fibre product in CFG. In this chapter we will take a general base category S unless otherwise indicated. However, if wanted, you can think of S as being Sch. Given an object S 2 Ob(S), we can consider it as category fibred in groupoids, which is also called S=S, by taking arrows T ! S in S as objects and arrows over S in S as morphisms. The functor S=S !S is the forgetful functor, forgetting the map to S. Exercise 1. Let S; T 2 Ob(S). Check that the fibre (S=S)(T ) is isomorphic to the set Hom(T;S), i.e. the category whose objects are the elements of Hom(T;S) and whose arrows are the identities. Proposition 2. Let X be a category fibred in groupoids over S. Then X is equivalent to an object of S (i.e. there is an equivalence of categories that commutes with the projection to S) if and only if X has a final object. Proof. Given an object S 2 Ob(S) the associated category fibred in groupoids has final object id: S ! S.

  • Geometricity for Derived Categories of Algebraic Stacks 3
    GEOMETRICITY FOR DERIVED CATEGORIES OF ALGEBRAIC STACKS DANIEL BERGH, VALERY A. LUNTS, AND OLAF M. SCHNURER¨ To Joseph Bernstein on the occasion of his 70th birthday Abstract. We prove that the dg category of perfect complexes on a smooth, proper Deligne–Mumford stack over a field of characteristic zero is geometric in the sense of Orlov, and in particular smooth and proper. On the level of trian- gulated categories, this means that the derived category of perfect complexes embeds as an admissible subcategory into the bounded derived category of co- herent sheaves on a smooth, projective variety. The same holds for a smooth, projective, tame Artin stack over an arbitrary field. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Preliminaries 4 3. Root constructions 8 4.

Introduction The derived category of a variety or, more generally, of an algebraic stack, is arXiv:1601.04465v2 [math.AG] 22 Jul 2016 traditionally studied in the context of triangulated categories. Although triangu- lated categories are certainly powerful, they do have some shortcomings. Most notably, the category of triangulated categories seems to have no tensor product, no concept of duals, and categories of triangulated functors have no obvious trian- gulated structure. A remedy to these problems is to work instead with differential graded categories, also called dg categories. We follow this approach and replace the derived category Dpf (X) of perfect complexes on a variety or an algebraic stack dg X by a certain dg category Dpf (X) which enhances Dpf (X) in the sense that its homotopy category is equivalent to Dpf (X).

We develop the foundations of higher geometric stacks in complex analytic geometry and in non-archimedean analytic geometry. We study coherent sheaves and prove the analog of Grauert’s theorem for derived direct images under proper morphisms. We define analytification functors and prove the analog of Serre’s GAGA theorems for higher stacks. We use the language of infinity category to simplify the theory. In particular, it enables us to circumvent the functoriality problem of the lisse-étale sites for sheaves on stacks. Our constructions and theorems cover the classical 1-stacks as a special case.
